- Greg,
- I think you'll find if you pick up either the latest bootwd (patched) or
- grabbed the diff's or uuencode we posted to this group, your problems will
- go away. This fix was for a problem where you couln't boot off the H.D. at
- all, but the bug that was corrected was that the boot code was NOT actually
- reading the H.D. status register when waiting for drive ready status. This
- would explain your problem as well.
